I am quickly falling in love with my new digs and my new town. Bremerton, WA is a place just waiting to happen, with lovely downtown parks and a growing supply of restaurants. A lovely ferry ride from Seattle, it has potential for great tourist fun. And if you're military or have a military background you'll want to visit the waterfront and tour the historic Turner Joy, which is docked on the waterfront.
With our longtime pals Jan and Dave, we enjoyed the waterfront park and prowled the waterfront this Sunday and took advantage of the farmers market by the ferry dock. The market was here in the late forties and fifties, but this particular incarnation is the brain baby of Kathleen Puls, a creative entrepreneur who sells all manner of oils and goodies at her booth (you can see Jan inspecting them in the gallery below). "It's all about craft here, and the individual," said Kathleen. It sure was - a lovely mix of artisans and farmers. They could use more though, so if you have something to sell you might consider checking it out.
One woman I really enjoyed talking to owns a shop in town called F.R.O.G. Soap. She uses recycled oils to make her soaps and foot creams and they smell yummy! Who'd a thunk it? I hope to interview her soon, along with some of the other shop owners in this interesting town on the rise. Many of the shops support good causes and I find this fascinating. I hope you all will, too.
